Since we have drugs and Arab countries in the same topic here, the random factoid of the day is that the slang word for pot "hasheesh" is taken from the Arabic word for grass (another slang for marijuana), which is hashish.

Au contraire. “Hashish was derived from a word meaning “assasin “

actually, it’s also the root of the word ‘assassin’, as these drugged out muzzies first got stoned before doing their deed.
